Not yet. At the moment enum nl80211_ap_sme_features in uapi/linux/nl80211.h is commented out. For MAC-based ACL the following things are being checked on wiphy registration: complete flag WIPHY_FLAG_HAVE_AP_SME, non-zero max_acl_mac_addrs, and set_mac_acl cfg80211 callback. I will send an RFC patch, lets see how it is going to look like... Regards, Sergey
